3:16 pm
firefight should be interviewed and talked to by members of congress. so far that hasn't happened. >> there are many unanswered questions from benghazi. for one, fox news learned from the senior u.s. defense officials that the fast team of marines out of spain were asked by the state department officials to change out of their marine uniforms. before heading in to libya to help. this required them to deplane and delayed them by 90 minutes according to pentagon officials. then there is the decision by secretary of state clinton and state department under-secretary of management patrick kennedy who was in the operation center that night. not to send a foreign emergency support team, which the state department own web site describes as the government only interagency on-call short notice team poised to respond to terrorists ips dents. as a result, the f.b.i. could not enter the complex for 24 days after which point most evidence was gone. secretary clinton will be

3:20 pm
immediate comment on the administration counterterrorism manual. >> very basic concept of the rule of law is people know what the rules are. having a secret play book means you are not compliant with the rule of law. there is no rule of law. people don't know what the rules are. >> today, the director of national intelligence urged the white house to give the pentagon the lion's share of control for the drone program and minimize the c.i.a. involvement. >> bret: you can imagine secretary clinton will be asked about the expansion in northern africa tomorrow. >> certainly. >> bret: thank you. >> you're welcome. >> bret: russia has begun evacuating the citizens from war-torn syria. four buses carrying about 80 people mostly women and children crossed to lebanon earlier in afternoon. the latest indication of russia perceives syria's president is losing his grip on power there. still ahead -- a big election in israel and what is at stake. first, is the housing crisis finally over here in the u.s.? we will look at what the numbers say. ford c-max hybrid. when you're carrying a lot of weight,

krauthammer. one thing overlooked by folks what a phrase that some picked up on, but not many. peace in our time. >> the whole foreign policy section such that it was, which could fit on a thimble for the most part you have to read body language rather than the language because it's sparse. one phrase, peace in your time. the summation. after being rolled by hitler, i brought us peace in our time. to use that phrase is historically tone deaf or ignorant, they didn't know what the ail yens of it was. they didn't know what it meant is vastly more troubling. context of dealing with iran a israel and stop iran getting the nuclear weapon, the idea of setting it out there to get
3:41 pm
peace in our time has got, tom ricks foreign policy said they were doing it to rattle benjamin netanyahu. it's so ignorant or so irresponse to believe use the phrase. it's synonymous with approach to foreign policy that leads aggression across borders. >> bret: do you think it was the message or a mistake? >> i bet a mistake. the guys in the white house have a wikipedia staff when it comes to speech writing stop. they make weird errors. that previous speech writing shops would never make. obama didn't have the excuse. he has to read it and know what the phrase meant. >> we have a shot of neville chamberlain if anybody wanted to see a face with a name. >> what do you think? >> the speech was short on foreign policy intentionally. the focus of domestic policy. when he got to it, it was
3:42 pm
clear that he wanted to emphasize engagement again. he did not want to talk about stopping nuclear iran. he did not want to talk, he talked about permanent wars as if it was an indulgence. interesting that he de-emphasized foreign policy. confirmation hearings to be the director of the c.i.a. he not only will be asked about what the current, and the policy has been but what it will be in the future. if the drone policy is
3:43 pm
unsustainable what is the drone policy going to be? what will they be replaced with when we leave afghanistan? how do we fight al-qaeda if we pull back from drone six? there are questions what about we have been doing, which is secretive and replace it with. >> bret: some, charles, say the drone program is largely a program not about being aggressive after terrorists. >> it seems to me the choice of the zone policy, the content of the global warming, though he won't use the word,
3:44 pm
a way to keep the problem at bay. it does something, kills the leadership. slows them down. not capturing anybody or gathering intelligence as done for the decade before. a reasonable way to approach the problem if the way obama thinks. he wants to keep the world at bay. the size of the speech of the foreign affairs was negligible. there is nothing in it except for the error "peace in our time" which i assume is sheer ignorance, because otherwise it's perverse. the phrase you show him saying we'll defend those who are fighting on behalf of democracy because it's in interest and conscience, what
3:45 pm
about syria? mali? in mali, the administration can't decide to enforce the french out there. drone intelligence. he needs to reform america. he said this. we have want to rebuild the nation in home. we don't want to go abroad. retreat is idea and policy of reseeding. with the nomination of john kerry and chuck hagel is president obama sending a chamberlain message? >> i think charles is right. he is sending the message. these are care-takers and people who will keep the foreign policy off his desk.
3:46 pm
some people say is part of the foreign policy part. climate change, and we know kerry will be deeply invested in. that has a real policy and dollars and cents. the rest is tabulum. the cabinet pointments are people to allow him to focus on this domesticbe transformation. >> bret: a leap forward for tomorrow. secretary clinton testifying on benghazi. she will testify in the morning on the senate side and afternoonbe in the house. this should be high drama when it comes to congress. asking and answering. the republicans are forecasting that.
3:47 pm
>> i don't know that they will be surprises in a lot of new revelations from the testimony. >> bret: charles? >> i think they will ask what did you know and when did you know it? where were you during the attackbe? what did the president say? who were the embassy personnel who were flown out and not hurt and know and can say what happened and have not been named by the state department and why aren't they allowed to speak to the american people and the congress? >> bret: almost no one in the press. >> of course. >> because i exclude as standing above the press. >> bret: jonah?
